WE SHALL BECOME WORLDS FINANCIERS ENGLAND WAS the greatest of the creditor nations for generations, in fact, for centuries. To maintain that plan, England was forced to She did it finance debtor nations. by supplying the funds for development of those nations. She developed their resources, she built railroads, she provided shipping facilities Large quantities of English money were invested in many countries of the world. Such funds were provided not so much by the English government, as by the English people as individuals, with the government back of them to minimize their chance of loss. That will be Americas job when the present world conflict is over. It was our job after the close of World War No. 1, but we did not do it effectively. We did not know how.

SOUND ADVICE BANKERS THE AMERICAN magazine says every man or corporation or institution that in any way depends upon public patronage for support should never permit any issue of its hometown newspaper to go to press without containing a mention of his or its name and business. To that it adds: The man who does not advertise his business does an injustice to himself and his town. The man who insists on sharing the business that comes to town, but refuses to advertise his own, is not a valuable addition to any town. The life and snap of a town dee liberal pends upon advertising men."

She is married and every day tells me of the small wages, $25 a week, her husband receives, all because others are paid such unwarranted salaries, from $25,000 to as much as $200,000 a year. I became rather fed up on her daily complaint and looked up a few figures. How much do you think your husband should be paid? I asked. He could have at least $100 a week if they would divide up the unwarranted salaries paid In this country, she said. Would you place the limit at say I inquired. $10,000 a year? v That would be too low, she replied. Many people are worth more than that. Then I pulled out my figures. Do you know, I asked, that if all salaries of more than $10,000 a year were divided between people of the United States it would mean less than 50 cents for each one of us each year? She refused to believe it, though 5t is true, but I have heard nothing more about the salary her husband Is entitled to. Talented Children Escape Discipline, Develop Washington, D. C.
